"Sad is the tale of this beautiful
world" How striking is the pre-
sentiment of this fact to ones mind as
he reads Collins account of "The
Sleighing Party" in last issue of the
Labor Journal. Sad indeed, that a
man endowed with futile Imagination,
creative genious, and above all, the
pliable conscience, should waste his
ability in editing newspaper to sell
for the miserably paltry sum of &c
per copy. A genius who can think
so deeply and imply a lie so blandly,
must certainly be destined for high
er calling than editor. A more APP
propriate sphere for him would be
author (of dime novels and ghost
stories) in which capacity he would
be enabled to give his extravagant
ideas vent without marrinr the pleas
ure of an evenings entertainment,
where he was himself a guest, or
casting the shadow of improperly
upon the characters of young ladies
the defenseless whom every true
man is in duty bound and happy to
protect.
ONE OF THE PARTY,
Whose lot IL mas not yet been to make the &C.
qunintance Of Mr.. Collins. and sincerely hopes
that the misfortune may never bcfall him.

A Manufacturers Tariff Views.

The tariff testimony of manu-.
facturer who "was always a follower
of Horace Greeley and in his pro-
lection doctrine without much question
till he investigated the labor question
in Europe on the spot" ought to be Of
some value. Here is what J. b. Sar.
gent, the well-known hardware manu-
facturer, says in letter to the Boston
Advertiser:
/ plead guilty to being desirious of
having all the cruder forms of "raw
materials" relieved from custom du.
ties. That is, to have absolute free
trade in them, and | am quite willing
to accept the logical consequences
even to absolute free trade on hard
ware, in the manufacture of which !
have the direct charge of LOO en-
ployes.
/ know that United States manu-
facturers produce their goods with
less cost, except for materials and
supplies, than any other manufacture
ers on the face of the earth. Ameri-
can workingmen turn out more work
to the dollar than workingmen Of Eu'
rope, and that is especially true when
compared with the politically and SO.
cially oppressed and poorly paid
working people of the high tariff
countries Of Continental Europe
The competition Of those workmen il
especially tame, unless they come here
and become trained in our ways and
infused with Yankee ambition and
snap.
As the tariff now is, our materiali
cost from fifty to one hundred pc,
cent. higher than the same used by
our English competitors whom W,
meet in foreign countries. OF cours'
under such circumstances, we car
successfully compete with the Euro
pean manufacturer only in those de
scriptions of goods where the cost j
largely in labor or finish and compar
atively small in materials. We Cal
export carpenters nail hammers al
over the world, but England beats u
all to pieces with her sledge hammer
and anvils. In builders hardware
locks, ETC., we lock her out of her Owl
colonies, except on the heavy, coars
articles. With free trade in the met
als--iron, copper, lead, zinc--or evel
with free trade in coal, iron ore, ans
old scrap iron, Europe could not sci
hardware in this country at cost :,
make in Europe. The talk of be
ing flooded with foreign goods under
free trade is all bosh.

The State Board of Agriculture are
engaged in the commendable work OF
seeking information regarding the
sandy lands of Michigan, with view
of bringing these now vacant lands to
a state of cultivation. This is work
that should meet encouragement, and
we have no doubt that the Board will
solve a problem that will be of much
practical benefit to the State at large.
We have an abiding faith in the sand
lands of Michigan, and We predict
that the time is not far in the future
when the now sand regions of the
State will be mostly converted into
valuable farms.
